Nothing says “I love you” more than chocolates and…improving your research skills! Sure, it’s not romantic – but – it will make getting that lit review done a much sweeter experience! So, we invite you to ‘make a date’ with one of the workshops offered this February!
Workshops will be held on Tuesdays from 12noon-1pm via Zoom. Registration for workshops is required. A Zoom link and password will be sent to registrants one hour prior to the start time of the Workshop. Please note that workshops are open to only Tufts-affiliated individuals.

Beyond PubMed
Register: https://tufts.libcal.com/event/8751867?hs=a
Date: Tuesday, February 15, 2022
Time: 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Description: Have you tried out your search on PubMed and are wondering if there’s something more? Did you get the advice you need to try another database in addition to PubMed and aren’t sure where to go next? Are you curious about what the most cited article is for your question? Do you want to know who has cited the articles you’ve selected so far?
While PubMed covers the biomedical sciences thoroughly, there are many other databases that cover all of the Sciences and Social Sciences broadly. This workshop will introduce you to resources beyond PubMed that will enrich your research.
